Chapter 183
Zach opened his eyes and found himself on Aria’s lap.
Both Victoria and Aria had tears in their eyes, and they hugged Zach when they noticed he was awake.
Zach looked at his body and saw he was fully healed. He glanced at Aria and asked, "Did you heal ?"
Aria nodded and said, "Yes. When I told Victoria about you, we both rushed at you to help you."
"...." Zach wanted to enjoy the softness of Aria’s thighs, but he sat up and asked, "What happened? Where is the boss?"
Victoria pointed her gaze behind Zach and said, "You saved us all."
Zach looked back and saw the soul eater was dead, and the Lord Abomination was eating it.
"...it worked...?" Zach muttered. "But how did a level 100 boss defeat a level 150 boss?"
Lord Abomination’s true strength was sealed by the gods when Zach had fought it. But now, Zach had unleashed its true power.
The lord abomination’s size was the sa, but instead of its original lava color, it was now black colored. Its fire was black, and its eyes were golden which represented Zach’s soul powers.
Zach’s tar skill didn’t evolve only because he tried to revive the core, but it also evolved because he had awakened his soul power.
The necromancer skill used soul powers to connect with the core directly so it could later use his MP without any direct contact.
’Did its fire change to black because of the concentrated fire?’ Zach wondered as he looked at the lord abomination’s new form.
The normal color of Zach’s fire sword was orange. It changed to red when 1000 MP was released, purple when 5000 MP was released, and black when 10,000 MP was released.
However, Zach wasn’t sure if that was the reason why the abomination’s fire had turned black.
’I didn’t even have 10,000 MP since I used 500 on the dragon and a few more on the core.’
[Master, I know this is not the right ti. But may I request sothing?] the dragon asked.
Zach glanced around to find where the dragon was, and it was on Zach’s lap.
"You are so light that I didn’t even notice when you got here," Zach scoffed with a sigh. He nodded and said, "What do you want to ask ?"
The dragon squird and asked, "Can I also eat the realm eater? It will help grow faster."
"Sure." Zach shrugged his shoulders with a grin on his face and said, "It’s not like it matters now."
The dragon jumped from Zach’s lap and flapped its wings to fly, but its wings hadn’t developed enough, so it couldn’t fly. It jumped and walked to the soul eater and started eating it.
When Zach moved his gaze from the dragon to Aria and Victoria, he found them looking at him with an anxious look on their faces.
"What...?"
"I know you were talking with the dragon, but it felt weird seeing you talk with yourself," Aria remarked with a grin on her face.
Zach looked at Victoria and then the destruction behind her.
"This shouldn’t have happened...." Zach muttered.
Victoria realized what Zach was thinking. She knew Zach was sowhat blaming himself for the tragedy even though he knew it wasn’t his fault. Part of it was because he didn’t want Victoria to bla herself.
After Zach revived Lord abomination using his newly evolved skill— Necromancer, Zach passed out.
When Aria and Victoria saw Zach, his HP was almost 0.
If it wasn’t for Aria’s quick thinking, even in a dire ti, Zach could have lost his life.
When Aria realized that, she couldn’t help but feel hopeless.
What would she say to Aurora, who was waiting for him to co back from the dungeon raid? Who was supposed to get married?
What would she say to Aquarius and Ruli, who was waiting for his return after two months?
Zach had made so many promises to his loved one, and Aria would be blad because Zach would have died in her presence.
Of course, Zach would have hated that, and he would never want his harem to fight.
Just like that, all the guild mbers who died on the floor 75th had their own life. They had also made promises to their loved ones. And they all died.
Victoria felt responsible for all of their deaths, but Aria talked her out of it and explained to her how it wasn’t in her, Zach, or anyone’s control.
"It wasn’t as though they died because they were weak; they died because the boss was too strong," she had said.
Zach clenched his fists and muttered sothing under his breath with a furious look on his face.
"What was that?" Aria asked. "I want you to share your anger with ."
"The soul eater’s real na was world eater. It can literally devour realms within seconds," Zach asserted. "It was born from the cosmic energy of the universe. The first order power of the infinity."
Aria slowly raised her brows, and the expression on her face turned from normal to furious. She frowned her face and said, "There is no way that’s possible."
"Oh?" Zach glanced at Aria with a judging look on his face and uttered, "You are a goddess, so you must also know about it."
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Why didn’t you recognize it?"
"That’s because it’s not one," Aria replied.
"How can you be so sure?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
After a brief silence, Aria opened her mouth to say, "Because I am the one who created the world eater. And I know what they look like."
"...!"
Aria was a goddess of death and destruction, so it was pretty evident that only she could create a monster able to cause such destruction.
"Then why did the dragon tell that the soul eater was a world eater?" Zach wondered with a confused look on his face. "I highly doubt she was lying; she has no reason to."
Aria shook her head and said, "I don’t think she was lying. But I think I know why she called the boss world eater."
"Why?"
"There are chances that the 12 gods tried to copy my creation and created a soul eater based on it," Aria exclaid with a frowned face. "They copied its power and everything, but since the original world eaters still exist, they couldn’t na it the sa. Hence, they nad it soul eater."
"Wait... eaters? As in plural?"
Aria nodded and said, "I think I created seven of them."
"...!"
"But don’t worry, they are in a deep slumber after my exile from the heavens," Aria reassured.
Zach pondered for a while and asked, "What are the chances that the gods can take over them?"
"None. I have created them, and they only obey ," Aria asserted nonchalantly. "Even if I lose all my powers, they will still obey ."
Zach sighed in relief and uttered, "That’s good news."
